SUMMERS HERE IN BONNIE SCOTLAND

[Tizermac]

What a great weekend up here, great weather and a day out at Knockhill Scottish Championship racing was good and Bikefest which a couple of stalls strung to gether that was a bit of a dissappointment, weather was great, riding with a a GXR 600 Triumph TT100 and a sprint and the old TDM more than held her own, this bike contiues to impress me. Was a bit jealous reading the posts about the RTT would have loved to attend but work was getting in the way, so pleading begging time of spot booked on my way Yippee.

normally the burning acrid smoke of a BBQ keeps the bassads away.
you obviously aint using enough flamable liquids to start the fire and aint burning the sausages enough

You want <!--coloro:#FF0000--><!--/coloro-->Avon Skin-so-soft<!--colorc-->
<!--/colorc--> you do - it smells nice, isn't made of toxic waste and keeps midges away really well. Avon's biggest selling product in Scotland by miles. If you're coming up in summer, be warned they can ruin your trip so see your Avon lady! She can probably do you a deal on a pair of Azaro's at the same time.

Yer a strange man Minty.

Good luck with the move at the weekend. Ya couldn't get the wifey to do it on her own and you could come to the RTT? No?

[ripper]

Doest thou mean its winter riding kit at all times? or ist scotish midge able to undo zips
bloody hate them 10,000 times smaller than me and able to give much lumpy grief.

[dandywarhol]

Minty Bhoy is spot on......the Avon stuff really works.....I forgot to remove my watch when I applied it and the bassads got me under the strap (jock)

Much as I would wish to, I would be <i>extremely</i> unpopular with Mrs Hippo should I dog off to RTT. I might well find all my stuff had gone ashtray during the move. Pity, new back tyre fitted an all...
Anyway, with stock cans I am more rolling pootle than rolling thunder.

There's an aprilia rolling thunder tour this weekend that I'll have to miss 'cos my collarbone's only 80% So I'm gonna have my own little sound of thunder tour mid August up the west coast - I'll sort the Avon can you guys order some good weather?

No, in England it would be light rain. In Scotland it would be more than that. Scotland has so much weather it's not able to have it one at a time, so you'll often find it's raining, hailing, foggy and sunny at the same time.
